Apropos OF the attempts being made
for the eXterminat on of mormonlsm,
the Desert News of Salt Lake City,
mormon organ, says. To true latter
day saint the loss of property, position,
and even liberty counts as dross TO the
fine gold of his faith and the riches of
his religion. "Mormonism' has out
lived very much wilder storms than are
likely to burst upon it from such tenn
pered blasts as the crude bill which has
caused these Incorporate and precipi-
tate rejoicings among its foes. And
when this has blown over, the ruin that
will be wrought will not affect its fol-
lowers half so much a. its opposers.
while its principles will have received
wider attention, more correct apprecia-
ton, and we believe, a more devoted
and consistent practice among those
who have formally accepted its doc
trine and yielded TO its authority.
